You figure what have around 10 scholarship WR's on the roster, there's always room for 1-2 of these smaller shifty speed guys. Jones, Milton and even Akers fit in this category. Look at what Campbell was doing at WR when he was at Toledo, he had a nice mix of WR's. It's nice to have a couple big jump ball guys on the outside, the speedsters in the slot and a do everything type at the other spot. Think Lazard and Butler outside, Jarvis West in the slot and someone like Austin Flynn or Quentin Bundrage as the do everything/make catches all over the field type...
Even before hearing that Glass is leaving, I have been thinking that Milton will probably move back to the slot next year. He's not as productive on the outside, and with Jones graduating it would make sense. We got plenty of outside guys returning.
Honestly I thought Glass would surpass Akers as the #2 M WR behind Milton next year. Akers has taken a big step forward which will likely limit Glass' snaps next year. In the end I'd rather lose players that can't get on the field than players we need on the field.
Those guys aren’t like that at all. Jones and Akers are slot receivers and Milton is a receiver. He might go back to the slot but he doesn’t need to. Campbell hasn’t ever utilized those small guys. We heard about it with Jones and have seen next to none of it mostly because he’s not that type of player.

Milton doesn't need to move back to the slot but in ISU's offense he would be a lot more productive there. Jones has 52 catches this year. That's more than 25% of the teams catches. The thing with Jones is that he is just not explosive. Milton only has 24 catches this year. He had 34 out of the slot last year as a backup.
